Celeste comes to this position with over 12 years classroom teaching experience, almost 20 years coaching experience, 10 years experience as a licensed therapist, and a wealth of knowledge from other areas of the educational arena.

In working with students, Celeste expressed the following goals for her staff:

• To build whole people who take their place in the world with a
  sense of fairness, grace, dignity and a belief in themselves and
  in their abilities
• To afford students the opportunity to obtain a life worth living
• To inspire students to dismantle poorly adapted views of themselves
  while empowering them to develop and implement a life of their
  design.

Celeste believes the staff at Logos has an opportunity that comes around just once in a blue moon—and is honored to be a part of this team. Celeste has always been a teacher and a coach. Even as a therapist, teaching was first, last and always.

Celeste is excited about teaming with her staff to accomplish this crucial mission.

In addition to her ambitious role as Director of Education, Celeste will continue her duties as Middle School Director.
